Are Vibram FiveFinger shoes good for biking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Preface: I've used a standing desk before and loved it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm going to switch back very soon. I also bike every day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my commute is at least 9.8 miles. The bike I use has cages on the pedals and I'm currently using new balance running training shoes (that I've barely used for running). I also want to bike longer distances.
I would like to use Vibrams as my only pair of shoes for biking 13+ miles a day and standing most of the day.
I'm all for the minimalist shoe movement. I wear Merrell Trail Gloves almost exclusively, including at my standing desk at work. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is something to be said for using the right tool for the job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and for biking VFFs are not the right tool for the job.
That's not to say you can't wear them, especially if you have cage or platform pedals on your bike. But as far as "good for biking" vs. "negatively affect my biking" from a cyclists standpoint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the less rigid the sole of your shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the less efficient it is for transferring power from your legs to the cranks. So the running shoes you've been wearing are also relatively un-optimal for biking.
As far as standing at your desk all day in VFFs: it took a while to get used to standing on what is essentially a concrete floor all day in my Trail Gloves, but I'm fine now. I have a bar stool that I sit on for a combined total of maybe an hour or so of my day just to take the weight off every now and then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but your VFFs should be fine for standing.
Personally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I have no opinion on the subject of whether you should wear cycling-specific shoes or not; however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I will say that you are not going to get less efficient power-transfer from not wearing clipless pedals.
It's simple physics. The energy is conserved -- it necessarily HAS to go into turning the crank. A very VERY small amount may turn into heat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but instruments probably don't exist that can measure to that sort of precision.
I have a proposed mechanism from personal experience. Although there is insufficient evidence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I hope that the information will be an anectdote to the above statments that more or less imply that there may be no negative side effects of riding with these shoes. Please comment if you have had any similar experiences.
Riding and racing bicycles was my primary extracurricular activity for many years - all done with cycling shoes. Now I ride my bike for commuting - with the same look style cleats and often with heavy loads of children and a single gear. I have taken up running for my primary activity. After developing plantar fascitis last summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and then feeling the way my foot naturally attempts to grab the pedal by curling up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am beginning to suspect that this could cause some of the issues with my plantar tendon. I am generally very cautious about and attentive to errors that may be leading to pain. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am planning to get either flatter pedals or using cycling shoes.相关的主题文章:
